Attn: Renewable Energy Fund Grant Program Round VI: Hotham Peak Wind Resource and Intertie
Assessment
Dear Review Panel:
The Alaska Village Electric Cooperative, Inc. (AVEC) respectfully submits the enclosed application for
grant funds available through the Renewable Energy Fund Grant Program. The project would involve
conducting a wind resource assessment and intertie feasibility between Noorvik, Kiana, and Selawik.
The study will involve putting up a meteorology (met) tower and monitoring the wind resource at
Wesley Creek near the community of Noorvik for a year. The work would also involve conducting a
geotechnical study to determine ground conditions. The intertie portion of the assessment would
consider intertie cost, routes, and the location of supporting diesel plants and controls to serve Noorvik,
Kiana and Selawik.
AVEC is seeking $207,100 from AEA under this proposal and would provide a cash match of $10,900 for
this work.
Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Petrie of my staff if you have questions.
Sincerely,
MUUeera Kohler
President and CEO
